Thank you very much for being part of our wedding. It meant a lot to us to be married by someone who made us feel comfortable and encouraged us to create a ceremony that reflected ourselves and our beliefs.

I wanted to reach out and express to you both how happy we were with the service yesterday. You both made this day very special for us and most importantly my Mom was very happy with the celebration. We received many comments from friends and family.
